For the longest time I’ve turned to ASMR to help relax me. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It’s basically a brain orgasm that is triggered by personal attention, tapping sounds, deliberate tasks, ear or microphone covering— well there’s a multitude of things that can trigger that sort of response. It’s been my go to for anxiety for the last couple of months. You can find these videos easy enough on youtube. I usually listen to MassageASMR before bed.
But as I laid there, listening to an inaudible whispering video, I started to feel a bit chillier than usual, so I decided to get up and grab a sweater. My window was open, and it was a bit of a colder night. Anyway, I took my headphones off and set them aside. When I went to pause the video, I realized that it had frozen. Sometimes our connection is a bit shoddy. I was listening for about 30 minutes, so I guess that could explain it. My internet had been trying to load an hour long video. Still, it should have loaded by now, right? I decided to click near the beginning of the video to back up and just listen to the same 30 minutes before bed. When I hovered over the progress bar, however, I noticed that the video had never played passed the first ten minutes.
In retrospect I should have realized something was wrong when I thought I could feel the breath on my ears.

It’s a chilling story but I would like a little more details.
First the narrator says “for the longest time I’ve ASMR to relax me.” Then a few sentences later the narrator says ASMR has been their “go to for anxiety for the last couple months.”
Er… So… Which is it then. A couple of months is not the “longest time”. Unless you’re a mealworm.
I think it was good, but it wasn’t scary enough. I came to this cite to have nightmares not a weird dream. You still have potential
I see a lot of people are commenting that they would like to see more detail, but I would have to disagree; I find the ambiguity makes the tale more engaging as it allows your mind to wander. Nicely done!
im never listening to asmr ever again
the creepy spider thinks this pasta is a little bland in flavor

i love asmr AND massageasmr is one of my favorites. i see how this would be hard to understand to someone who doesn’t watch asmr, but other than that aspect well done.
Loved the idea and concept. Great work. :3
Short and creepy, nice one.
I would like to know wether or not this actually real because ASMR is a very real thing. Please comment back, but if this isn’t real, good job on making it and taking the time to find out what ASMR is.
ha stormwig said “spoopy”
DANG FRICKINFRACK CLIFFHANGERS
7.5/10 it could have been a little longer. I like short creepy pasta but I feel like it wasn’t creepy enough. Though if it was longer you could build up the tension.
3/5 Stars.
I’m not gonna lie, I felt genuinely scared there was gonna be some sort of jumpscare somehow, if I scrolled down… Now that’s suspense! That wham line at the end just brought the whole thing full circle.
My only qualm was the whole describing ASMR as a “brain orgasm.” thing. It doesn’t make ASMR sound relaxing; just awkward and inappropriate. Calling it a “euphoric trance” or even likening it to the pleasurable stimulation of those wire ‘spiders’ used for scalp massages could have made it sound a lot softer and provided more soothing imagery.
Or maybe I’m a Prude…
In retrospect I should have realized something was wrong when I thought I could feel the breath on my ears.
This line ruined it! Such a flippant remark as though the thought’s been pushed to one side and only just remembered. It feels as though the subject has explained the whole story and then added this as a footnote! This should be the climax, something that filled them with dread and the fear of falling asleep – realizing something had been that close, speaking so softly, its breath could be felt on his ear for 20 minutes.
Eh, they tried…. but it’s kind of boring.
4/10
Chilling. I love how even the shorter stories can be just as good as the long ones. 9/10
Not Bad, i like it! 🙂
4/5 😀
Good pasta i loved it ^-^
Love the ending, but I think it would be good to add some more detail to the end. But still great story 9/10
Ohhhhh Nice!!!
Interesting yet scary! I loved it!!! Keep up the good work! Needs to be a little longer though!
loved it. little short, but it was short and sweet!
I liked it but it would of been better if it was longer with more detail.
I liked it
creepy LOVE IT 10/5 great job bro
A bit confused by the ASMR thing. Not a good description of what that is. 4/10 breads.
A little cliché, but very good.
Kind of spoopy, it could use… well… a little length, details. Also, some of the sentances are a little cliche. Otherwise, good pasta!
I loved it xD
damn…better watch yo back. jk
I’ve always liked asmr and i know who you are talking about. cool twist
Could use more explanation and expansion… Good story though.
This was a good pasta, however you could of put a little bit more detail in, and maybe make it a small bit longer. I think it would of made it more scary.
Apart from that, It was a great story!
Killingz i think your parents should have done better
I’d say 4/5. I love ASMR myself, so I was drawn to the story. I was thinking “This story sucks.” But that all changed with the twist at the end. It’s a very good story, I just wish it was a little longer. Nice job! 😀
I like itttttt. It was short, but I like it that way. It could probably send a couple of chills down most people’s backs, like it did to mine
I liked it, but it would be cool if it was longer.
Short and sweet
I knew someone would make a creepypasta about ASMR. Especially since many people see inaudible whispers as a trait of a psychopath.
It’s short, but really nice. I like it.
So fallouts a great game so far right?
Very good, sir! Though i’m more confused then scared. I haven’t listened to an ASMR so I have no idea what that is. Not to say that makes it bad, just some people might not understand the concept. Also, what happens? The main character only says “I should have realized something was wrong when I felt the breath on my ears.” Does that mean she gets killed? Someone else in he house? Overall, 6/10 breads for you. Keep up the good work!
Run Forest, Run!
too short but very intriguing could use more detain maybe even a few more people killed
This is not that good because of how short it was. The created should have made it longer because I could have done better.
